I will post a more thorough review with pics when I return home, but so far I am much happier with the Revision Desert Locusts. The goggles themselves are virtually identical to the ESS Profiles, with only stylistic differences, but the insert system is far superior.
The ESS insert is very fragile and does not secure well in the goggles. It is an example of very poor design. When firing crew served weapons and crawling around a turret, the insert has popped loose multiple times, resulting in a loss of clear vision with a hot weapon in hand. Not good. The design also requires a high-index polycarbonate lens and specialized grinding, making them very expensive.
The Revisions, on the other hand, use a conventionally shaped insert and secure very well inside the goggles, even incorporating a pad made from some sort of sticky compound to keep them from shifting. The lens does not make contact with my face, unlike the ESS Profiles, reducing the amoung of sweat running through my field of view.
